Coming off a season with the top overall defense in the league, the Eagles lost several key starters, including edge rusher Josh Sweat, and defensive tackle Milton Williams. Along the way, Philadelphia signed low-risk, high-reward players like Azeez Ojulari and Josh Uche.

Philadelphia didn’t make many signings this offseason, but the ones they did agree to are players of key value to the team.
And writer John McMullen believes that it is Ojulari that could be a player that provides an underrated and immediate impact for the organization.
“Ojulari is not only the one player the Eagles gave decent money to ($3 million guaranteed and another $500K in likely incentives), the team has a clear and significant need at the position,” McMullen said. “If everything works to plan, the Eagles are still going to add on the edge in the draft or trade market, and the best-case would be for Ojulari to No. 4 in the rotation, which is why Josh Uche is not on the list.

“Ojulari’s contract serves as the inside lane, and it’s his spot to lose.”
Ojulari comes to a defense in desperate need of added edge rusher help after several departures this offseason. With over 22 sacks in his first four years with the organization, he’s a player who can make an immediate impact with the Eagles.
Especially on a one-year “prove-it” deal.
